The City of Noblesville, in partnership with Noblesville Schools, has officially launched the Noblesville Wellbeing Coalition. The group is focused on the enhancement of wellness across the spectrum of health including mind, body, and emotional wellness by improving community-wide resources and processes.
The Noblesville Wellbeing Coalition, chaired by Mayor Chris Jensen and Noblesville Schools Superintendent Beth Niedermeyer, has been convening on a regular basis since early March.

“May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we knew it was a great opportunity to announce that we have been working diligently with our community partners toward a healthier city and we are ready to officially launch our Noblesville Wellbeing Coalition,” Jensen said. “We understand this past year has been a struggle for many people and the focus on wellbeing is more important now than ever before. With the help of our community partners, we are collecting actionable data to allow for us to create lasting changes in the realm of wellness.”
A community-wide survey will be launched in July to capture Noblesville-specific data about the state of wellbeing in the city. The survey will serve as a baseline to measure efforts and identify key strengths and weaknesses that currently exist in the community in relation to overall wellness.

“We are thrilled to be a part of the Noblesville Wellbeing Coalition to make a measurable difference in our community and provide key resources to people in need,” Niedermeyer said. “This collaboration is a huge effort and we don’t take this task lightly. We understand the need we have in the community to provide a full spectrum of wellness resources and make them accessible across the board, from our students, to staff, to families. We have the right team in place to gather the data we need and work together toward a happier, healthier Noblesville.”
The initial 23 members of the Noblesville Wellbeing Coalition have been tasked with soliciting feedback from the entire community. Four action teams have been formed to focus on the Culture of Wellbeing, Easy Rapid Access, Crisis Prevention, and Youth Support & Families.
“This is a true community partnership and we wouldn’t be able to accomplish our goals without the cooperation and collaboration of our many close community partners,” Jensen said. “Our coalition is made up of leaders from every sector including public safety, school, faith, non-profit, business and healthcare organizations.”
